Some messages on the handy forum at www.download-und-hilfe.com from late December suggest that perhaps the trojaned Mosquitos is not quite trojaned. I may be misreading, but it appears that the "trojaned" program automatically orders a 1 month license for Mosquitos from mobile ringtone and software distributor Jamba.de.
A similar set of messages(NB:obscenity-laden) from the NokiaFree forum also mentions that the program sends subscription orders to Jamba ("Europe's leading sales platform for mobile content").
I get the impression that this may just be self-help against people who haven't paid for the game.
